Our frogs were doing well but for the last four or five days one of our girls does not seem to be doing well. She's staying up at the surface constantly now, often nudging herself against the filter for balance and just sitting there. Her skin is grey like she needs to shed but she doesn't shed and I haven't seen her eating or doing much of anything else which is quite concerning. On some angles she looks a little bit bloated but not significantly (could be the glass distortion) but we did notice tonight when looking at her closely, some minor redness in the webbing of her rear feet - almost like tiny broken capilliaries or something? Of course that may have always been there it's just right now we're so worried and of course, she's pretty sedentary so we can get a closer look than normal.
We had our water tested and everything looks great there and the other two frogs seem to be fine. The only other issue is the heat. It has been hot (high 80s/90s) recently here and their tank fluctuates between 78-84 which we were worried about. We moved them into the spare bathroom as we can keep the temp. down a little to 82 at the worst stage but again, the other two are doing fine and the folks at the pet store said the heat shouldn't be bothering them.
Just checked on her and she's "free floating" around, skimming the surface and hubby says her little feed almost bleeding in the webbing and definitely something new.
The only other thing that one other is doing is shooting up for air repeatedly (but later calms down).
Ack...any advice would be grateful.
Also, if we do need to euthenize her (which I hope we do not but if she's suffering I can't stand by and do nothing either) is it true, bagging her in a small baggie with a little water and putting her in the freezer is the kindest way (rather than depriving her of air and freezing her)?
Boy oh boy, have we had some rotten luck with ADFs. Poor little things.
